LTE TA Planning
TA: Similar to the location area and routing area in 2G/3G networks, the tracking area (TA) is used for paging. TA planning aims to reduce location update signaling caused by
location changes in the LTE system.
TA list : A list of TAIs that identify the tracking areas that the UE can enter without performing a tracking area updating procedure. The TAIs in a TAI list assigned by an MME to a
UE pertain to the same MME area. In LTE system, if an UE changes the TAs in the TAI list, TA update wont be triggered.

Network Scenario 1 Los Angeles
In the Los Angles, there are several independent density area that connected by
the main road (like island) . The UE may go across the different area through
this road.

TA Planning Solution

Network Scenario 2 London
In this scenario, users are average

distributed in each area

TA Planning Solution

Rules TA Planning
-A TA coverage should be proper setting according to the capability of

EPC
-When the suburban area and urban area are covered discontinuously, an
independent TA is used for the suburban area.

Rules TA Planning (contd)

PCI Planning

Scrambling Overview
PCI: Physical Cell ID, is used to generate

scrambling code to identify the different cell

Scrambling Overview (Contd)

PCI Planning Principle
Differences between a scrambling code and a PCI: The scrambling code ranges from 0 to 511 whereas the PCI ranges from 0 to
503. In addition, the protocols do not have specific requirements for scrambling code planning. Therefore, only the reuse distance
needs to be ensured in scrambling code planning. For PCI planning, however, 3GPP protocols require that the value of PCI/3
should be 0, 1, or 2 in each eNB.

PCI Planning Modulo 3

Cyclic Prefix Size Decision
A CP is a copy of the end of an OFDM symbol to the start position of the

symbol. Each CP generates a guard interval between two OFDM symbols.

Cyclic Prefix Size Decision (contd)
A CP is a copy of the end of an OFDM symbol to the start position of the

symbol. Each CP generates a guard interval between two OFDM symbols.

Cyclic Prefix Size Decision (contd)
The symbol energy that can be captured by the OFDM receiver depends on the CP length:
If the CP is longer than the multipath delay of an OFDM symbol, the OFDM receiver can capture all energy of the
symbol.
If the CP is shorter than the multipath delay of an OFDM symbol, the OFDM receiver can capture only some
energy of the symbol.

Random Access Preamble Format
Decision
The random access procedure is used in various scenarios, including initial access, handover, or
re-establishment. Like other 3GPP systems the random access procedure provides a method for
contention and non-contention based access. The PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel)
includes RA (Random Access) preambles generated from ZC (Zadoff-Chu) sequences.
There are five preamble formats defined which four of them are for FDD

Random Access Preamble Format
Decision (Contd)
Other preamble formats then Format 0 and Format 4 (TDD) are available only with the LOFD-001009
Extended Cell Access Radius feature.

Further explanation on following slides.

PRACH Parameters
PRACH configuration is defined by the following parameters

Root sequence, setting in the eNodeB
Ncs: Automatically setting based on the cell radius configuration
PRACHfrequency offset: Scheduled by eNodeB
High speed flag: Indicate whether the cell is for high speed

Cross Feeder Analysist

Overview of X-Feeder Troubleshoot
For LTE Network SON Feature (PCI Optimization), everyday PCI will be changing. So
during drivetest if not following daily Engineering Parameter from system. Common
people will see there is cross feeder issue. Actually on PCI Optimizer there is no exact
rule lower number of PCI should be correlated with lower number of Local Cell ID.
The general rule of PCI Optimizer one LTE Site should use same SSS ID, and PSS ID
can be randomly as long the system can arrange not facing with the same PSS ID from
the other site.
Whatever the PCI on the implementation, we should be able to analyze the cell
footprint from LTE Broadcast Channel on SIB Type 1. Which contains PLMN ID,
TAC, eNB ID and the Important thing is Cell ID. Cell ID should following rule
clockwise numbering, from the smaller to the higher.
How to breakdown CellIdentity into Cell ID:
= (28 . _) + _

Sector 1

Mapping Problem & Troubleshoot
After we understand above description, left picture showing actual
